Brake pad set for cars: find out more! How to choose, when to change , and how much they cost
Brake pads are a part of the braking system. In many ways they determine how quickly the vehicle will stop. When the pedal is pressed, the shoe is pressed against the disc, which leads to the vehicle braking.
Types of brake pads- Semi-metallic. Pads are made of iron, copper and graphite powders. Their advantage is a good heat transfer and disadvantages are rapid wear, loss of properties when the temperature drops and the presence of noise when braking.
- Low-metallic. This is one of the best types of these components. Their composition is the same as that of the organic and improvement of properties is obtained by adding copper or steel, that allows a better heat removal. The only drawback is rapid wear of the brake disc.
- Ceramic. Virtually no drawbacks: the ingress of water does not affect the performance, brake discs wear is minimal, and the dust and the heat are released to a much lesser extent than in the above-described analogues.
The basis of the part is a metal plate with fixed friction lining on it. Pads repeat the form of a brake disc or drum. A pad is attached to the base by means of rivets and special adhesive. Many pads have wear sensor.
Tips for operating the brake padsThe service life of the brake pads depends on driving style and mileage. Sudden acceleration and deceleration wear the part out faster. On the average, its lifespan is 15 000–20 000 km. It is not recommended to exploit pads if lining thickness is reduced to 2-3 mm, since there is a risk of damage to the brake disc and the brake fluid boiling.
- part is deformed;
- the appearance of free play;
- damage or break of the friction surface;
- heavy wear of pads.
- uneven wear of parts;
- wear indicator reading;
- appearance of rattle or squeak in the wheel during braking;
- increase in force when pressing the brake pedal;
- the pedal does not return to its original position after release;
- degradation of braking effectiveness.
- item is not properly secured;
- wear of the brake disc;
- dust, dirt and foreign objects in the lining;
- improper installation;
- aggressive driving;
- a fault in the brake cylinders.
Repairing and restoring the pads is not recommended. In case of malfunction they should be replaced, especially because their cost is relatively low. Replacement parts will extend the life of the brake disc and the entire brake system. You can replace a pad by yourself with a minimal set of tools. To do this, follow these steps:
- lock the car using the handbrake and raise it;
- remove the wheel;
- knock out retaining pins and guide pins;
- using pliers or a screwdriver, drown pistons in the cylinder of a caliper and remove the old parts;
- lubricate guide pins with oil and perform the above steps in reverse order.
- Time saving. You can place your order in just a few minutes.
- Possibility of free delivery.
- Confidence. All spare parts are warranted quality.
- Qualified support. Get information from support specialists of Autodoc at any time.
- Fast shipping.

FAQ and people ask: Brake pads
On the average, the parts last for 30,000–50,000 kilometres on cars equipped with a manual transmission and 25,000–30,000 kilometres on those with an automatic transmission. The working lifespan depends on a few factors:
- Individual driving style. If you often use brakes at high speeds, the parts can wear out as early as after 5,000 kilometres of use.
- Vehicle type. Heavy cars require more frequent replacement of the components.
- Degree of brake disc wear. Uneven surface of a damaged part has a negative effect on the pads.
- Jamming of the brake caliper pistons, which leads to uneven wear of the parts.
- Composition of the friction material. Working lifespan of ceramic parts is longer than that of organic ones.
Typically, a kit contains 4 parts – 2 for each wheel on an axle. Some kits contain 8 parts for one axle. This depends on the car design.
Modern parts are equipped with electronic or mechanical wear sensors. They indicate the necessity to replace the parts by the instrument panel warning light, which goes on, or by a squealing noise during braking. Also you can measure the friction lining thickness with a caliper gauge and compare it with the value specified by the car manufacturer as the minimum allowable. In addition, you can detect wear by the following signs:
- increased braking path;
- lowering of the working fluid level;
- metal dust on the wheel rim;
- unusual sounds and knocking when you stop the car abruptly.
For this job you will need:
- a flat screwdriver;
- a set of open and ring spanners;
- a lifting jack.
See your vehicle’s repair guide for a detailed instruction. Generally, this procedure involves the following steps:
- Make sure that the mechanisms cooled down.
- Open the bonnet and remove the brake fluid tank cap.
- Block the wheels with chocks.
- Loosen the wheel bolts.
- Raise the car.
- Remove the wheel bolts and the wheel itself.
- Remove the brake caliper fasteners.
- Remove the retaining clips and disconnect the wear indicator (if installed).
- Press in the brake caliper pistons.
- Remove the worn parts.
Remember that after finishing the work you may need to top up brake fluid and bleed the system. Press the brake pedal for a few times before starting to use the car.
Foreign sounds when braking can be caused by the following reasons:
- Poor quality of the pads.
- The parts are bedding in, and their factory coating hasn’t yet been rubbed off.
- Incorrect installation of the parts.
- Incompatibility of components of the assembly.
- Overheating of the system or driving in the rain.
- Foreign particles getting in the mechanism.
- The brake caliper piston gets stuck.
